In this ground-breaking new book, Carl Cederstrom and Andre Spicer argue that th
e ever-present pressure to maximize our wellness has started to work against us,
making us feel worse and provoking us to withdraw into ourselves. The Wellness
Syndrome follows health freaks who go to extremes to find the perfect diet, corp
orate athletes who start the day with a dance party, and the self-trackers who m
onitor everything, including their own toilet habits.
